Is this massive, fraudulent, tightly coordinated DNC Media hit over child detention starting to give NeverTrumpers an inkling of what the Democrats will do to them if NeverTrump gets its wish and the Dems are restored to power?
The core fantasy of NeverTrump is that screwing over the Republicans and putting Democrats back in power will win them a dash of respect from the Left and set up a return of "respectable," harmless conservatism in 2024 or 2028 or whatever.
They thought helping Hillary win would have set that up for 2020 or 2024. The more realistic members of the tribe at least understand it probably would have taken much longer than that, or they know a GOP denuded of icky "populism" would never win again, but they didn't care.
Well, kids, here's your sneak preview of what's actually going to happen to you if the Democrats take power again: scorched earth, no holds barred, no prisoners taken. The Left will lie as long and hard as needed to paint EVERYONE outside their tribe as a monster.
The Left won't respect NeverTrumpers or fondly remember how you were useful to them during the Trump era. They'll tell you to burn in hell because you don't agree with them 100% on every issue. They won't applaud the return of docile, harmless, theoretical conservatism.
The Left has become feral and savage in a way NeverTrumpers stuck in the Nineties or wistfully remember a mythologized Eighties don't grasp. They're totalitarians now: All politics, everywhere, all the time, in every movie and song, every job and school, even your choice of food.
As you've seen over the past week if you were paying attention at all, the Left is now VERY comfortable with political violence. And I mean the mainstream Left, not just the kook fringe. The "mainstream" Left indulges kook fringe violence if they think the cause is "righteous."
The mainstream Left cannot be bothered to even half-heartedly condemn violence and threats of violence against their hated enemies, and nobody in the DNC Media requires them to. This is an incredibly dangerous environment born of the notion that opposition to the Left is evil.
The Left is not going to magnanimously decide that a *little* opposition from docile "conservatives" who mostly talk to each other in symposiums is acceptable if they regain power. Instead they'll conclude their all-out-war approach was vindicated by victory and double down.
Remember, the Left believes dissent is subversive and counterculture is powerful - that's how THEY came to power decades ago. They will not allow dangerous ideas to percolate in safe walled-off game preserves where old conservatives can graze and fondly remember Ronald Reagan.
For God's sake, the ACLU is debating the idea of abandoning defense of free speech in order to advance "social justice" causes. If that doesn't give you a clue about what's coming your way from the totalitarian Left if Democrats regain power, I don't know what will.
The Left got this way because it reached the limits of what it could accomplish through persuasion and healthy democracy. It can't win arguments anymore, but it can use raw power to silence dissent. It can subvert the law and use bureaucratic muscle to make elections irrelevant.
Every time the Left gains power, the number of things Americans are allowed to vote on, or choose for ourselves outside the realm of politics, dwindles. We lost control of our own health insurance last time. Next time it will be medicine itself.
The Left is not interested in resetting a genteel playing field for electoral jousts with "principled conservatives," as they present themselves. It wants to win permanent victories, not elections. It is attacking the rule of law and forcibly changing electoral demographics.
Left-wingers are drunk on the moralistic rush of their hate-feedback loops. The more over the top they go, the more their fans urge them on. It's the delirious, intoxicating rush of the mob. It has absolutely nothing to do with reasoned discourse or democratic compromise.
If you put Democrats back in power, NeverTrumpers, you're not making a small tactical concession to honorable political adversaries. You're laying America's throat bare to something wild, ravenous, and hateful that "wins arguments" by crushing dissent. That means you, too.
And the lesson you should take from the past week is that the Left is not interested in "fairness," compromise, or honest discussion of complex issues. What they do to you if they win will be brutally unfair, NeverTrump, and there will be no one to hear your complaints. /end
